Great news for the Bundesliga! Leipzig star rejects English giants and signs a contract until 2026

More excellent news for Germany’s top competition. After Bayern Munich’s Sadio Mané gets a taste of the Bundesliga, Leipzig have announced important news. It has managed to keep its biggest star.

The Bundesliga is going to be really interesting next season. Not only are Bayern doing great in the transfer market, Dortmund are also trying to strengthen and Leipzig and Leverkusen are doing their best not to weaken, on the contrary.

And both teams are succeeding. Moreover, Leipzig will keep their biggest star, whose transfer was imminent according to many foreign media. Christopher Nkunku has signed a new contract at the club, which runs until the summer of 2026.

The French offensive all-rounder arrived in Saxony three years ago for the now ridiculous sum of 13 million euros. Transfermarkt now estimates his value at €80 million. After all, Nkunku has been one of the most productive players this season, not only in Europe.

the 24-year-old Leipzig star played 50 competitive games last season with a fantastic record of 35 goals and 19 assists. Clubs such as Chelsea and Manchester United were interested in him. But he needs to let his appetite go.

“After our great success, when we won the DFB-Pokal, it was clear to me that my story wasn’t over here. We want more. I was overwhelmed by Leipzig’s efforts to keep me. A big thank you to everyone who put their trust in me,” he told the club’s website.

But there is a catch. German media agree that a release clause has been inserted into the contract. It will be activated if someone offers €65 million for the player from the summer of 2023.
